Incredibly excited to announce we will be suing Meta for this! @elonmusk if you want to fund the lawsuit my DMs are open forum.market

Big news: @trylaurence is now a media company. Today, we're launching The Backend, a podcast dedicated to sharing e-commerce founder and investor stories. Our core business stays the same: we're still building autonomous full-funnel advertising, starting with Amazon. But we have an opportunity here to build something bigger and provide so much more value to the community through our platform, and I'm so so excited to share this with you. Our first guest is incredible. Aaron Apple was the first believer in our vision for Laurence, and I'm honored that I get to share his story: he bootstrapped his Amazon FBA business to a $40 million exit starting with just $12,000 in cash, and he's been an incredible mentor and role model to me. Our episode is live right now! Check us out on: - Youtube: youtube.com/watch?v=Zm-pgG… - Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/13nm1X… We're just getting started.

Hype flips Solana this year

Proud to announce we've raised $5.8M in total funding for @trylaurence, the hedge fund for ads. We founded Laurence with the key insight that we could automate performance marketing the same way quant firms systematically trade. Our system autonomously executes Amazon ad spend for fourteen brands, and our models drive a 15-40% improvement in total net profit after margin and ad spend. Stay tuned, we have a really, REALLY fun announcement coming for you all next week ;)

@LGierhake Not poor but I def couldn’t afford 150CHF per person dinners

there was a very nice restaurant I could never afford as a college student but I loved it because it has a bunch of Picasso and Miro paintings on the wall so I'd always just go in, have one espresso for 5$ and sit there reading... the staff was very kind.

one nuance about the hypergambling trend is that even though the share of the population that wants to hypergamble is rising, the share of capital they have is falling even faster, so most of the opportunity is in capitalizing on one off redistribution events
